WEDDING SONG
By Charlie Christmas

WELL THE GRASS LOOKED GREENER IN THE SUMMER LIGHT
THE BRIDE LOOKED PRETTY IN EGGSHELL WHITE
EVERYTHING SET FOR A SPECIAL NIGHT
ALL RIGHT

GROOM STOOD TALL IN SATIN TUX
PLATES AND SILVER ALL DELUXE
FATHER OF THE BRIDE SPENT BEAUCOUP BUCKS
ALL RIGHT

WELL A LIFE OF MOMENTS IS ALL WE GOT
MOST OF THEM DON’T MEAN A LOT
NOW AND THEN WE TAKE A SHOT
AT GETTING ONE JUST RIGHT

BUT EVEN WHEN YOU HOPE AND PRAY
FOR JUST ONE MAGIC, PERFECT DAY
THE UNIVERSE MAY LAUGH AND SAY
“NOT QUITE”

SO SORRY
OUR MISTAKE
HOPE YOU STILL ENJOY THE CAKE
YEAH WE GOT THE DOCUMENT BUT
WE DIDN’T READ THE FINER PRINT
SO APOLOGIES FOR YOUR DISTRESS
YOU KNOW WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ONE THING WRONG
THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG

WELL UP THE AISLE AND BACK ON DOWN
FLOWER PETALS ON THE GROUND
ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ROUND
ALL RIGHT

YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WANTED FROM THE START
BUT THE BEST LAID PLANS CAN FALL APART
AND IT DON’T TAKE MUCH TO BREAK A NEW BRIDE’S HEART
TONIGHT

SO SORRY
OUR MISTAKE
HOPE YOU STILL ENJOY THE CAKE
YEAH WE GOT THE DOCUMENT BUT
WE DIDN’T READ THE FINER PRINT
SO APOLOGIES FOR YOUR DISTRESS
YOU KNOW WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ONE THING WRONG
THE BAND CANT PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG

solo over chorus

bridge
NOW YOU MAY BLAME THE BOOZE BUT THAT AIN’T IT AT ALL
SO PAY NO MIND TO THE BOTTLES ON THE STAGE
CUZ WITH THE SONGSS WE DID REMEMBER EVERYBODY HAD A BALL
SO LET YOUR DADDY CUT THE CHECK AND LET’S JUST TURN THE PAGE

MOON LOOKED SILVER IN A SUMMER SKY
EVERYBODY GETTING HIGH
AND THE BRIDE HAD NO MORE TEARS TO CRY
THAT NIGHT

AWW EVEN WHEN YOU HOPE AND PRAY
FOR JUST ONE MAGIC, PERFECT DAY
THE UNIVERSE MAY LAUGH AND SAY
“NOT QUITE”

SO SORRY
OUR MISTAKE
HOPE YOU STILL ENJOY THE CAKE
YEAH WE GOT THE DOCUMENT BUT
WE DIDN’T READ THE FINER PRINT
SO APOLOGIES FOR YOUR DISTRESS
YOU KNOW WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ONE THING WRONG
THE BAND CANT PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG

THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG
THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG
IF YOU HUM WE’LL SING ALONG
BUT THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG

THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG
THE BAND CAN’T PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG
EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ONE THING WRONG
THE BAND CANT PLAY YOUR WEDDING SONG……TONIGHT
